BELLINGHAM, Mass. – Families looking for a festive night out should head to 21 Mann St. in Bellingham, Mass., where the Sachs family puts on a lights show outside their home every Christmas.
Justin Sachs, the mastermind behind the display, said he first had the idea when his son was born in 2011. Raised by a Catholic mother and a Jewish father, Sachs said he didn’t always have Christmas lights at his house growing up. When he did, it was something special, and he wanted to recreate that feeling for his son.
